Definitely not because teen pregnancy in other communities isn't blamed on popular culture but instead a pathological community.

I heard about this story just about at the same time I saw an ad for a new reality show.
The show, IIRC the name correctly, is Baby Borrowers.
Seems as if they give young couples real young kids to take care of.
Have seen only the ad, but could be a rather good eye opener for some.

Hmmm...part of me wants to think that the 24-year old homeless guy is just some hippie who couch surfs between friends and relatives, and not an actual bum.

Nothing was said in this thread that can't be seen in the previews - so don't worry, the movie wasn't spoiled. Watch it, it's a good movie.

Stunt baby?
I agree w/ DSTChaos though, I don't think you can blame Juno or Jamie Lynn for this, teenage girls have been doing dumb things to get love for a couple millenia now.

Referencing Juno here is hilarious, to me - you'd really have to ignore the last 30 minutes of the movie here.
Past that, I really don't care - this doesn't seem surprising or even really troubling. Stupid moderately-privileged kids do stupid shit then get on the news for it? Stop the presses.
